Project description:
"We have a ride-hailing app built with React + Capacitor (Android).
Currently, the driver’s GPS stops sending updates when the app is minimized or the screen is locked. As a result, the driver disappears from the passenger map until the app is reopened.

We need someone to implement background GPS tracking so that:

Location keeps updating even when the app is minimized or the screen is off.

Foreground service runs with a persistent notification (“Sharing location”).

The app is excluded from Android battery optimization if possible.

Works smoothly on Android 10+ (tested on latest versions).

The solution must send location updates to our API/WebSocket every few seconds.

Tech Stack:

Frontend: React + Capacitor

Backend: Node.js (Express)

Hosting: VPS (Ubuntu)

Goal:
Make background location tracking stable for drivers. If the driver locks the phone or switches apps, their position should still update in real time for passengers.

Deliverables:

Working background GPS tracking implementation
